Welcome to bollards of London (incorporating bollards of Britain), a site dedicated to those rather odd looking pavement objects you find in the most interesting of places.
Bollards have a history richer than most objects placed upon the pavement and we can easily find some from the earlier part of the 19th Century.
Welcome once again to bollards of London and please do follow/contact me on the twitter @bollardoflondon or via gmail john.bollards@gmail.com #thankyou...

Thames Path...

No Access...

Bollards are back with a 'City of London 1999' vintage complete with a 'No Access to Thames Path' just off Upper Thames Street in the City of London close to the banks of the river Thames.

I had taken a short break from blogging about bollards recently but can assure you all I'm back and getting fitter by the day 'Get Fit Not Fat' my new mantra. I dropped my taxi-cab off to its garage off Cable Street and while walking/marching/jogging back the six miles to Pimlico I came across the bollard (above) and then noticed these wonderful empty plinths/columns (below) protruding from the river Thames at Blackfriars.

The plinths/columns reminded me of 'Poseidon' (God of the seas/protector of the waters).

Like 'Poseidon' god of the seas...

Bollards of London (is back)...

PS with a new look coming soon thanks to the wonderful work of the @PeepingTallulah on the twitter.
